RivcoPRO is an e-procurement system administered by Jaggaer. Jaggaer provides the system’s technical support.

Jaggaer securely saves vendor information in its database; only select Jaggaer administrators and Jaggaer customer procurement specialists have access to vendor information. Vendor information will not be sold or used for any other purpose.

• Invited: Invitation has been sent via our vendor portal in RivcoPro. There is a cold-call profile which is only intended for vendors to be able to access and participate in sourcing events. If a vendor is conducting business with the County, then an on-boarding profile registration must be completed.
• Completed: This means that the on-boarding registration has been filled out and submitted by the vendor. At this point it is still waiting ACO review in order to move forward.
• Approved: Once the ACO has reviewed and approved a vendor’s registration, this step will automatically sync relevant information and assign a new vendor ID.

Yes. The vendor is required to enter at least one fulfillment contact and one remittance contact but can also add multiple users to their organization’s account. The remittance and fulfillment contact can be the same person, but they must be listed twice (for both fulfillment and remittance) in order to move forward in the registration process. The vendor can add the following type of contacts:

• Corporate
• Customer Care
• Fulfillment
• Remittance
• Sales
• Other
  • Fulfillment contact - Person responsible for fulfilling and receiving orders
  • Remittance address - Person responsible for receiving payments

Both fulfillment and remittance addresses are required. They can be the same person and address for both but the you must have one address for each type to move forward in the registration process.

• Fulfillment address - Address where orders are received and filled
• Remittance address - Address where payments are received and/or made

Vendors can use this section to select to receive payment from the County via check or ePayable. Once selected, the system will prompt the vendor to add in all applicable data for their selected payment type.

The section requests that a PDF or JPEG of a valid invoice be uploaded to the system (it can be blank or simply a company letterhead); this document is used by our Auditor-Controller’s Office to verify the remittance address. If a vendor is attempting to add invoice #’s or current invoices, the system will reject since it was likely not related to a previous PO or invoice in RivcoPRO. The Auditor-Controller’s Office will automatically reject documents that are not uploaded as a PDF or JPEG file.

The NAICS Commodity/Services Code is an acronym for the North American Industry Classification System. The NAICS Code is a coding taxonomy used primarily to classify products and services procured by state and local governments in North America. Vendors can add their codes by selecting the “edit” button and using the search feature to select all applicable codes. Vendors can select multiple codes.

The NIGP Commodity/Services Code is an acronym for the National Institute of Governmental Purchasing’s Commodity/Services Code. The NIGP Code is a coding taxonomy used primarily to classify products and services procured by state and local governments in North America. Vendors can add their codes by selecting the “edit” button and using the search feature to select all applicable codes. Vendors can select multiple codes.

No, vendors will need to select the best NIGP/NAICS code for their services or goods they are offering. There is a search feature in each of the registration fields to assist. We recemented selecting all applicable codes as these will drive your bid notification.

The Data Universal Numbering Systems, abbreviated as DUNS or D-U-N-S, is a proprietary system developed and regulated by Dun & Bradstreet (D&B) that assigns a unique numeric identifier, referred to as a "DUNS number" to a single business entity. It is a common standard worldwide.

The backup withholding section primarily applies to out of state vendors. If a vendor is out-of-state, the state of CA should have issued a form stating such. This would be the appropriate place to upload that form.

Vendors that are not out-of-state vendor, should select “No” to opt out of adding an attachment and to bypass to the next section. This will not affect profile approval or exemption status in the system. In the event the Auditor-Controller’s Office finds a vendor has answered this question incorrectly, they will follow up during their review and approval process of the vendor’s profile.

Each company holding a unique TIN number will need to be registered as a separate profile. However, once an email is associated as an account owner on one profile, it cannot be added as an account owner on a second profile. It is recommended that the vendor utilize a second email for the additional company profile or assign another member of their staff as the profile owner in order to complete registration.

The Auditor-Controller’s Office requires a PDF or JPEG of a signed and current W-9 for all parties receiving payment from the County of Riverside. No substitutions will be accepted. For ease of use, vendors can pull down a partially filled W-9 directly from RivcoPRO by selecting the “Add Tax Document” button in this tab. A pop-up will appear requesting information and giving the option to “Download Pre-Populated Tax Document”. The vendor will need to complete the unfilled portions, print and sign, and then upload to the system. The Auditor-Controller’s Office will automatically reject: unsigned W-9s, documents that are not uploaded as a PDF or JPEG file, and outdated versions of the W-9 form.

DBA stands for "Doing Business As" - A name under which a corporation conducts business that is not the legal name of the corporation.

Insurance is not required for completing registration. However, the County of Riverside may require vendors to provide valid and up to date insurance for bids on particular solicitations or prior to executing a contract with the vendor.

Vendors/Brokers are responsible for uploading their COI into RivcoPro. A County representative/Procurement Contract Specialist is unable to assist in this upload.

Please reach out to the Procurement Contract Specialist/Buyer overseeing the bid. If, you’re unsure of who the PCS/Buyer is reach out to Purchasing’s main line at 951-955-4937.

The County has moved all active Vendors to the new RivcoPRO platform. WebVendor is replaced immediately with RivcoPRO for address and contact maintenance. The County is transitioning to RivcoPRO. During the transition, some bidding opportunities will continue to be managed on Public Purchase; vendors should maintain their PublicPurchase.com profile until otherwise notified in order to access those events.
